If you have been in latent Labour at full term how long did it last for until baby was born?

I typically sleep on my back, but since I’ve heard the dangers of it and I’m in my second trimester, I started sleeping on my side. My hips and shoulders hurt so badly when I sleep on my side.

How far along was everyone when they got 2-3 weeks on the clear blue digital and 3+ weeks?

I had an abdominal ultrasound this evening and under the impression I was 7+5, although baby measuring 7+1. I know it’s only 4 days out but I’m pretty sure I know when I ovulated. Is there anything I should worry about?

When I stumbled across this name I thought it was so sweet, and my partner agreed (which instantly made it a winner given our polar opposite tastes) but after looking into it I realised it may be much more uncommon than I thought and I don't want my son being the one with the 'weird new wave' name? What do you guys ...

Has anyone had an induction at Yale? I'm being induced with a closed cervix so they are going to have to use the balloon to open it up. I've never been induced before so what should I expand what extra stuff do you recommend I pack if anything at all.

When people say contractions feel like “mild period-type pains”, how mild can they be? I’m 1cm dilated from my last sweep and I’ve had on and off very mild period pains with a tight tummy but honestly so mild I can barely notice them.
